Zoral Corp and the 2012 FEC election cycle
The Zoral Corp employer grouping recorded $1,137,884 in itemized individual contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 30 contributions from one donor. Zoral Corp is the matched employer string as stored, not a claim about every related legal entity. This page joins that corporate-style key to the 2012 two-year window so a one-person cell can be read as an overlap rather than as a company treasury line. One identity and 30 lines produced $1,137,884; the contribution count is a filing pattern, not a headcount of thirty employees. Do not treat thirty itemized lines as thirty employees of Zoral Corp.
Key figures
- Zoral Corp × 2012 equals $1,137,884 in itemized individual contributions.
- One donor made 30 contributions in that cell.
- 2012 is about 5.8% of the grouping’s $19,580,684 all-cycle total.
- The key is a self-reported employer string, not a treasury line.
- The page is a two-table join, not a motive claim.
One donor where Zoral Corp meets 2012
A single contributor identity accounts for the entire $1,137,884. Thirty itemized contributions still sit in the count, so the money arrived as many lines rather than one check. The join includes only rows whose employer text rolled up to Zoral Corp and whose dates fall in 2012. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.
Across cycles, the grouping totals $19,580,684. The 2012 window is about 5.8% of that running total. A modest cycle share with one filer still means this presidential-year cell is not the whole history of the key. Other years may look broader; they are not imported here. Concentration in 2012 is a statistic, not a ranking of obscure corporate names.
What the Zoral Corp label holds
FEC employer fields are free text. Zoral Corp is the rollup as stored. Filers who wrote a longer legal name, a DBA, or a personal name without the Corp suffix may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not contain.
Because one donor dominates 2012, the page is closer to a person-level timeline than to a payroll. The industry hub’s $19,580,684 is the place to see the key without the 2012 filter. The overlay for Zoral Corp 2012 is the row view of the 30 lines.
Treat $19,580,684 as the denominator for the 5.8% share, not as a company valuation. A later cycle under this key would have its own donor count and must not inherit the one-donor fact from 2012.
30 lines from one identity
Dividing $1,137,884 by 30 contributions yields about $37,929 per itemized gift. Dividing by one donor yields $1,137,884 per donor. Contributions per donor are 30. Repeat itemization by recipient and report can produce dozens of lines without adding people. Those figures are arithmetic, not a median.
Thirty contributions should not be mistaken for 30 employees. Recipients are not listed in this prose. Use the overlay table if you need rows. Mean gift size will move if any line is reclassified. Thirty lines at about $37,929 each from one Corp-string identity should be cited with the one-donor caveat whenever the $1,137,884 headline is repeated.
2012 as a filter, not a national score
The 2012 election cycle hub holds every stored employer for that window. Zoral Corp is one key inside it. No cycle-wide total appears in this packet, so this page does not state a national share. Presidential-year volume belongs on the cycle hub, not as a percentage of $1,137,884.
Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Zoral Corp to drop the year. All FEC ties lists other joins. None of those pages inherit this cell’s one-donor count.
What a one-donor corporate key does not prove
Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee activity sit outside $1,137,884. Federal award files are a different dataset. Sharing a corporate-style name and a calendar year is not a funding trail from FEC gifts to contracts.
Correlation between an employer string and a presidential-year cycle is not causation. The records show one matched identity, 30 contributions, and a date window. Motive is not in the table.
Keeping one donor inside 2012
Start with $1,137,884, then Zoral Corp 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. That path keeps two filters and one cell.
One donor, 30 contributions, and a 5.8% share versus $19,580,684 belong to 2012. Carry any of them into another cycle and the arithmetic stops being a fact from this packet. The 5.8 percent share of $19,580,684 shows that 2012 is a thin slice of a large stored grouping even though the cell itself exceeds one million dollars. Other Corp-suffix keys in this batch have their own donor counts. Motive is not in the FEC match.
